THE SCENE: BLINK-182 “FORGOT” TO RELEASE PHYSICAL EDITIONS OF NEW EP

Mark Hoppus, bassist for pop punk outfit, Blink-182, recently revealed in an interview with Billboard that they “forgot about the physical product,” when it cam to releasing their latest EP, Dogs Eating Dogs.

After a five-year separation, the trio reunited in 2011 and last year self-funded the EP Dogs Eating Dogs, which dropped as a digital-only release last December. The decision to release the track online wasn’t so much built into a new media plan, but was rooted in “laziness,” he joked. “We rushed to get the EP recorded, mixed and mastered in time for its release. Then we had a holiday, and forgot about the physical product. We are not good businessmen,” he admitted. “We don’t think like that. We didn’t get a physical product out because we were too lazy to print them up.”
